Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

In this exercise, we have to use the concept of Demonstrative Adjectives to fill each blank. The demonstrative adjectives, such as este, ese and aquel demonstrate a quality about the noun they modify. So, in this case that quality is the location in respect to the speaker or the listener. Thus, we have the following Questions:

Question 1:

No me gusta esta falda. Prefiero ésa.

That one translates as ésa and indicates that the skirt (falda) is further from the speaker but they can be close to the listener.

Question 2:

Voy a comprar pantalones verdes.

Esos means these and indicates that the pants (pantalones) is further from the speaker but they can be close to the listener.

Question 3:

¿Dónde compraste ese abrigo?

Ese means that and indicates that the coat (abrigo) is further from the speaker but they can be close to the listener.

Question 4:

¿Viste a aquellas chicas?

Those over there means aquellas and indicates that the the girls are far away from both the speaker and the listener.

Question 5:

Tú compras esa camisa y yo compro ésta

Ésta means this one and  indicates that the Shirt is near to the speaker.

Question 6:

¿Cuáles prefieres, los zapatos marrones o aquellos negros?

Those over there means aquellos and indicates that the the shoes are far away from both the speaker and the listener.

Question 7:

Éste means this one. Same case as Question 5

¿Cuánto cuesta esta camisa azul con rayas rojas?
